China’s primary intelligence organisation, known as the Ministry of State Security (MSS), has been classified by CBS as the largest, most active espionage agency.

CBS news painted a grim picture of Beijing’s worldwide intelligence ambitions, indicating that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) seeks to utilise a global network of covert operatives to observe and influence incidents outside its borders while surveilling Chinese dissidents in the US.


The CBS report implies that the MSS broadened its scope far beyond standard intelligence collection, embedding agents within academia, businesses, and even local authorities in the West. With China’s emergence as a superpower, its espionage capabilities are now more refined.
